Trump plans executive order to make English the US’s official language
United States has never had national language at a federal level, with hundreds of languages spoken across country
The order would also rescind a federal mandate issued that agencies and other recipients of federal funding are required to provide language assistance to non-English speakers
The US has never had a national language at the federal level in its almost 250-year history. Given the nation’s long history of taking in immigrants from around the world, hundreds of languages are spoken in homes and businesses across the US and Spanish is especially prevalent.
